Since all the "pros" are too busy with their life,i will answer your question

Between "anyone" & anybody"/"someone" & "somebody"

After reading your question,i have done a little research,and you know what?You're not the only person with that question

According to what the people in this forum discussed


one of the guys had tried a research,let's look at the rate

British English
Someone/somebody - spoken ... 188/424
Someone/somebody - academic ... 87/11
Anyone/anybody - spoken ... 122/257
Anyone/anybody - academic ... 56/6
Everyone/everybody - spoken ... 123/277
Everyone/everybody - academic ... 43/12
No-one/nobody - spoken ... 12/149
No-one/nobody - academic ... 6/13

American English
Someone/somebody - spoken ... 285/272
Someone/somebody - academic ... 79/10
Anyone/anybody - spoken ... 144/183
Anyone/anybody - academic ... 55/8
Everyone/everybody - spoken ... 195/330
Everyone/everybody - academic ... 73/15
No-one/nobody - spoken ... 0/138
No-one/nobody - academic ... 0.5/14

===> academic English is more likely than spoken English to use the -one forms

for the 2nd question,i guess you made a mistake when you say forget +v inf,since this is grammatically wrong

You meant the differences between forget +to inf vs forget +v-ing,right ?

When you use the struture "forget + to-inf",the action happen following the first verb(forget/remember....)
and when you use the struture "forget +v-ing",the action happens before the first verb(forget/remember.....)

For examples,

I forgot to close the door -- the door is still open; I failed to close it

I forgot closing the door -- The door is closed. I closed it, but then I forgot that I did that.
have fun

it doesn't seem right to me. For your 2nd example, I would have said "I forgot that I've closed the door".

When the most usual meaning of "forget" is intended, the infinitive follows. This is by far the most typical usage.

I hope I don't forget to lock the door.
I forgot to take my wallet this morning.
Don't forget to say "Thank you" when you see her tomorrow.
Sam is always forgetting to take his pills.

The gerund is not as often used. It gives a slightly different meaning to "forget". In this construction, the idea is that there is no hope of doing something, that one may as well abandon the prospect of doing it. In this structure, "can" is usually used with "forget".

Gary is very angry about what happened last night. You can forget asking him to pay back the loan now. Give him a few days to cool down.
It's obvious it's going to rain. I guess we can forget painting the house today.

You're not a pro doesn't mean your fault will be skipped...

I forgot closing the door

doesn't mean the door was closed by me and I forgot it. Your explanation was wrong and it may lead to misunderstanding from other people, affecting their English skill and more importantly, you are destroying their future...

"I forgot closing the door" is, to some extent, equivalent to "I gave up closing the door" or "I no longer want to close the door".
